What beautifully coiffured plumage!
One of many shops on the main shopping street. There are quite a lot of photos of shops here but they remind me of different things

My breakfast place. They do a fantastic muesli with pomegranate, kiwi fruit, bananas, papaya, sprinkled with coconut flakes. I added their homemade chunky wholemeal bread (with my Marmite, of course!) and freshly squeezed orange juice for a perfect breakfast 😋
Our friend on the high street
The Laughing Buddha – another good restaurant
Better batteries…
